The Flu Shot is About Keeping Yourself and Your Community Safe – FNHA
Did you know? The flu shot is more important than ever during the COVID-19 pandemic. Getting the flu shot is one of the best ways to keep healthy during the pandemic and can help prevent you and your community from becoming seriously ill.
Due to the pandemic, the health care system is experiencing some of its highest utilization, demand and pressure on record. For the sake of everyone in our communities, and around the province, it’s important that we don’t add any more hospitalizations as a result of the flu—especially when it’s preventable with the flu shot.
Many rural and remote First Nations communities have limited capacity for hospitalization so reducing the need for hospital beds can be done by getting immunized.
